Luggage

ABSTRACT

A luggage includes a main housing defining therein a first storage chamber, a sub-housing hinged to one front lateral side of the main housing and adapted for closing the first storage chamber and defining therein a second storage chamber, a first zip fastener adapted for controlling closing/opening of the sub-housing relative to the main housing, a cover panel hinged to a front bottom side of the sub-housing and adapted for closing the second storage chamber, and a second zip fastener adapted for controlling closing/opening of the cover panel relative to the sub-housing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to luggage structures and moreparticularly, to an improved structure of luggage having two separatelyopenable storage chambers.

2. Description of the Related Art

A regular luggage, as shown in FIG. 1, generally includes a housing 1defining therein a storage chamber W, a cover panel 2 hinged to onefront lateral side of the housing 1 and adapted for closing the storagechamber W, and a zip fastener 3 for controlling opening/closing of thecover panel 2. This design of luggage has drawbacks as follows:

-   -   1. Only one storage chamber W is defined in the housing 1 for        keeping things, not allowable for classified storage        arrangement.    -   2. When wishing to pick up one storage item from the storage        chamber W, the cover panel 2 must be opened to let all storage        items be exposed to the outside, it is embarrassing to expose        your personal items (underwear or briefs) to the public.    -   3. When wishing to pick up one storage item from the storage        chamber W, the user must put the housing 1 horizontally on a        flat surface, i.e., the luggage cannot be kept in vertical in a        narrow place when going to pick up one storage item from the        storage chamber W.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances inview. It is one object of the present invention to provide an improvedstructure of luggage, which has two separate chambers that areseparately openable for storing classified storage items.

To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a luggageincludes a main housing defining therein a first storage chamber, asub-housing hinged to one front lateral side of the main housing andadapted for closing the first storage chamber and defining therein asecond storage chamber, a first zip fastener adapted for controllingclosing/opening of the sub-housing relative to the main housing, a coverpanel hinged to a front bottom side of the sub-housing and adapted forclosing the second storage chamber, and a second zip fastener adaptedfor controlling closing/opening of the cover panel relative to thesub-housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 2-5, a luggage in accordance with the presentinvention is shown comprising a main housing 10 defining therein a firststorage chamber W1, a sub-housing 20 hinged to one front lateral side ofthe main housing 10 and adapted for closing the first storage chamber W1and defining therein a second storage chamber W2, a first zip fastener11 adapted for controlling closing/opening of the sub-housing 20relative to the main housing 10, a cover panel 22 hinged to a frontbottom side of the sub-housing 20 and adapted for closing the secondstorage chamber W2, a second zip fastener 12 adapted for controllingclosing/opening of the cover panel 22 relative to the sub-housing 20,and a plurality of side flaps 23;24 respectively and bilaterallyprovided inside each of the cover panel 22 and the sub-housing 20, andhook and loop materials 25 located on the side flaps 23;24 for allowingthe side flaps 23;24 to be fastened together to form a pocket forstoring things. Further, the sub-housing 20 includes a partition wall 21adapted to separate the first storage chamber W1 and the second storagechamber W2.

The luggage of the invention has the advantages and features as follows:

1. As shown in FIG. 5, the first storage chamber W1 and the secondstorage chamber W2 are defined in the luggage for storing thingsseparately. For example, the user can store big and private items in thefirst storage chamber W1 and other small and regular items in the secondstorage chamber W2.

2. As shown in FIG. 3, the user can open the second storage chamber W2to pick up related storage items without opening the first storagechamber W1, or open the first storage chamber W1 to pick up relatedstorage items without opening the second storage chamber W2.

3. As shown in FIG. 3, the user can keep the luggage in vertical whenopening the cover panel 22 to access to the second storage chamber W2.At this time, the side flaps 23;24 are fastened together to keep thestorage items in place.

4. By means of the hook and loop materials 25, the user can fasten orunfasten the side flaps 23;24 conveniently.

5. Further, as an alternate form of the present invention, thesub-housing 20 comprises a partition wall 30 that is movably connectedto the inside of the sub-housing 20 with belts 31 so that an opening His defined in between the first storage chamber W1 and the secondstorage chamber W2 for access.

Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described indetail for purposes of illustration, various modifications andenhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope ofthe invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except asby the appended claims.

1. A luggage, comprising: a main housing defining therein a firststorage chamber, a sub-housing hinged to one front lateral side of saidmain housing and adapted for closing said first storage chamber anddefining therein a second storage chamber, a first zip fastener adaptedfor controlling closing/opening of said sub-housing relative to saidmain housing, a cover panel hinged to a front bottom side of saidsub-housing and adapted for closing said second storage chamber, and asecond zip fastener adapted for controlling closing/opening of saidcover panel relative to said sub-housing.
 2. The luggage as claimed inclaim 1, further comprising a plurality of side flaps respectively andbilaterally provided inside each of said cover panel and saidsub-housing, and hook and loop materials located on said side flaps forallowing said side flaps to be fastened together to form a pocket forstoring things.
 3. The luggage as claimed in claim 1, wherein saidsub-housing comprises a partition wall movably connected to the insidethereof with a plurality of belts so that an opening is defined withinsaid sub-housing above said partition wall in between said first storagechamber and said second storage chamber.
